    Default Look @ this mess!

    This is what I found behind the dash when I restored the original radio harness, thereīs still the odd ericsson box (some phone thing, I think) and a few wires (now isolated) left in there as I didnīt want to dismantle the whole car and I couldnīt find where the attached wires went..

    P.O did a terrible amateur job jeeeeeeez!

    Just wanted to show you guys how things were mangled up

    Restored to original and EVERYTHING works now!

    That's what we call spaghetti wires in the industry. I've seen it too many times.

    How about a "slash n burn spaghetti with tomatoes, olives and ducttape dressing for looks, installed while drunk and worked fine in my 89 Audi"?

    What do the Brits call them? Or do you use the little jobs with a screw clamp on either end like I've seen in Europe.
